I read somewhere on the internet (I just cringed as I wrote that – I really can’t remember where I read it – sad but true – so much good stuff and I’m always reading!) a great question. Here it is. Are you an Usher or a Bouncer? I love this. Especially as it applies to

Are you a Ragamuffin?
I just read The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning. OMG. LOVE this book! All of the pages are marked up and underlined and starred.
